With the new Department of Government Efficiency, Musk would be gutting agencies that are responsible for enforcing the law against him.
On Tuesday, President-elect Donald Trump named Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as cochairs of a new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. This appointment allows Musk the opportunity to simultaneously do two things that are very important to him: publicly complain about government policies that cost him money, and tweet deeply unfunny jokes about the fact that the acronym is also the name of a meme cryptocurrency.
